Having a toolbar that changes width on left confuses geometry (demo
below). The defects in echo area (try typing something, the echo area
starts under the toolbar) and top gutter are visible right next to
toolbar (in the margin margin?). The gutter defect goes away if you
iconify, but not on C-l. The echo area bogon persists in both cases.
(progn
(set-default-toolbar-position 'left)
(switch-to-buffer "*scratch*")
(find-file-other-window (expand-file-name "recycle.xpm"
data-directory)))
This is probably similar to the other toolbar defect you reported a while
ago and which I've been looking at. Something very weird is going on because
the obvious fix doesn't cure things.
